A comprehensive and integrating theoretical concept of analysis and understanding of these changes is widely missing, but necessary for a supra-national level of observation and comparison. The book includes a survey on this segment of education in several European countries, Australia and the USA. The folio of analysis and comparision is given by the concept of governance, which allows a theoretical and empirical approach to the field of vocational and adult education. The contributions line out governance and marketisation strategies in an international, national and sectoral perspective and give a frame of perception and interpretation on a general level. %K Berufsbildung, Internationaler Vergleich, Aufsatzsammlung, Australien, Grossbritannien, Bildungsforschung, Bildungsmarkt, Governance, Länderstudien %G English
